A Meticulous Absence

Erik Handy, renowned author of chilling works like Demonica and Rot House, explores a different kind of horror in A Meticulous Absence - one that strips away the supernatural, laying bare the raw, human horror that is love and life itself. This compelling autobiographical novel follows a young man on the cusp of adulthood, burdened by the weight of unrequited love and a lack of direction in life. As he navigates the uncertain post-college phase without a clear career path or ambitions, the protagonist becomes consumed by the love that never was and will never be.
Bound by the relentless force of this unfulfilled longing, he teeters on the edge of despair, haunted by his own ghosts. With poetic prose and a profound understanding of the human psyche, Handy delivers a riveting narrative that will leave readers captivated until the very last page. Experience the power of A Meticulous Absence and delve into the depths of the human heart in this extraordinary tale of love's enduring impact.
